any updates on these projects?

I've been forced to take a break from this build because I had knee replacement surgery on December 6th. I also have a stay at home wife who is making sure I don't sneak downstairs and work on it before the doctor clears me.

I don't have much left to do and I should be back at it in another 2 weeks.

I keep finding extra bits to make. Just finished making a working cargo hook(My AH-1 is a civilianised version owned by the Dept of Agric)to find I do not think I'll have room to fit the servo in. I was also going to used the 3G system, but eventually got a BeastX unit instead. Only just setup the controls and, after many months, glued the boom on.
Work and the weather have not helped.

News ? I wait very very

Well I'm back to work on the Cobra for a while. Today I'm putting plywood behind the lip around the tower nose piece. Once I get this screwed in place I'll fit the canopy. I'm also drilling holes and gluing nuts inside the tail boom so I can use scale counter-sunk screws to attach the rear boom cap piece.

cobra 600e

Hi Dan got my cobra about a mounth a go ,no side frame no long main shaft got side frame now no main shaft still. I though instruction sead to use epoxie tride 30 min , left it to the nex day puled at it just came apart. It's not epoxie fus, fiber glass I think . Got out the old poliester rosin, heat lamp an went to work there is only one problem poliester smells ,then I thought what about febreze it kills lacker paint smells worked greate on the poliester smell to. That my story always the hard way.

Nice job so far JM4014. I was looking at the canopy and hate the way they want you to attach it. The canopy and the body are very deformed. Even in the instructions the finished fit looks terrible.

I desided to epoxy a half inch wide strip of fiber glass to the inside of the canopy holding it 3 mm from the bottom. Then I laminated a second 3/4 inch piece on top of it holding it flush the the bottom of the canopy. Next I epoxied a 1/16 thick 3/4 inch wide piece of plywood over everything. It created a slot for the flange on the body to fit into while giving me great side rails for the cockpit installation. When I put it on the helicopter I think I got the best fit I've seen so far on this RC Aerodyne kit.

very nice work Captain Dan,
I hope my Cobra comes out half as good as yours!
